Linda Liuzeniece, who has experienced home birth herself, Dina Ceple, a gynecologist and home birth specialist, doctor Māris Belte, who does not support home births, as well as sports journalist Mārtiņš Kļavenieks, who has experienced a “forced” home birth, have come to talk to host Agnes Drunkas about this topic.
Home births are allowed in Latvia, however, there is an active legal process regarding the death of a woman during a home birth. Also, there is no shortage of positive examples when such a birth was a great event.
However, the discussion about the risks of giving birth outside the hospital does not stop.
In the program, Latvian Radio sports journalist Mārtiņš Kļavenieks also shares his experience of accepting his wife’s sudden birth at home.
